A RESTful API for el Diccionario de la Real Academia Española

The easiest way to use drae is with the prebuilt container:

$ docker run -p 4000:4000 squat/drae

or if you wish to install drae locally:

$ go get -u github.com/squat/drae/cmd/drae

The define command does exactly what you would think: it accepts a string argument and returns a JSON object with the definition for that word.

$ drae define gato

You can run a drae API server from your machine using the api command. By default, this server runs on port 4000, though this can be configured with the --port flag.

$ drae api --port=6969

You can now open a browser and query the API at http://localhost:6969/api/.

The API has only one endpoint: /api/<word>. For example, I could search for the definition of gato at http://localhost:4000/api/gato.

The /healthz endpoint returns a 200 if the API is running.
